Chapter 433
Every year, Elmsworth held a widely anticipated horse racing event.
The aristocratic families would converge at the racecourse, exuding an atmosphere of camaraderie but underneath, it’s a battlefield of strategy and cunning.
Meanwhile, this event also served as a rare opportunity for the wealthy elites to mingle and network.
Many major projects across Elmsworth, even the entire country, have been sealed with a handshake right at the horse races. Hence, many people would do anything to secure a ticket to the event, hoping to climb the ladder of success.
Ever since Frederic forbade Glynnis from attending the event, she was furious, so much so that she developed blisters in her mouth from the stress, causing her to lose her appetite.
She couldn’t understand why Frederic would punish her so harshly for merely scolding a few servants.
Could it be that her fall from grace was tied to Elspeth’s own downfall?.
Men! They’re all heartless brutes!
Now, she could only hope that Jareth would discard Marilla like a used rag once he’s done with her.
When that happens, she would spread the word in their circle, letting everyone know Marilla was nothing more than a plaything for Jareth.
The door knocked, interrupting her thoughts.
“Glynnis, the lady requests your presence.”
Glynnis walked in to see Elspeth with a look of resentment.
“mom, I’m here.”
As she entered, she was met with a peculiar smell, quite unpleasant.
“mom, what are you doing? What is this smell?“:
Glynnis scrunched up her nose as she made her way towards the bedroom.
Upon opening the slightly ajar door, she was taken aback.
She saw Elspeth, wearing a crumpled nightgown, kneeling on the floor, fervently wiping a yellowish puddle on the floor.
“Mom, what is it?”
Elspeth cut her off harshly, “Who gave you permission to just walk in?! Can’t you knock?!”
–“Mom, you asked–for me.”
Glynnis trailed off her eyes wide in realization. “Mom! You didn’t?”
Before she could finish her sentence, Elspeth interrupted again, “Don’t you dare say a word, do you hear me?!”
Glynnis nodded fervently.
